Is anyone else having difficulty posting videos here on Mastodon recently?

It hasn't mattered the size of the video, it just doesn't want to fully process them or allow them to be posted.

Thank you!

I know the phrase '1st word problem' is a bit of a laff, but this is really scraping the barrel. But then the Gruaniad has become a haven for otherewise ignored 'writers' who otherwise would not be able to afford their baguettes. If it was satire I might appreciate it, but it does not even have the depth, subtelty, imagination or skill to be that.

So I was thinking about buying a proper alternative to the pre-installed Helvetica Neue and started to do bit of research and now I found way too many redesigns, revivals, reinterpretations, redrawings of Haas Grotesk / Helvetica / Univers / Akzidenz Grotesk to be able to decide

"Running infrastructure for yourself is hard...

Running infrastructure for others is exponentially harder."

"As any forum moderator or administrator can attest, the sheer volume of #spam, #abuse, and just generally #trash #behavior can wear down even the most seasoned veterans of the .com era.

And that’s if we’re talking about #communities that #host tens of thousands of users. Scale that to a few million and there won’t be enough hours in the day to either keep the servers running (stuff is costly too) or to monitor the content for anything potentially harmful or inappropriate.

For anyone that wants to start a #community, it’s a no-brainer that they should probably start somewhere where they can “#outsource” the hard things, like moderation and infrastructure, to someone who is an expert and has built-in mechanisms to handle everything in-house. Especially when the funds for this are at or around zero dollars. That’s a totally reasonable stance to take, and I absolutely get the rationale there.

Not only that, but a lot of the existing ecosystems rest on the shoulders of network effects.

Once everyone you care about is on #Reddit, are you really going to be the only one not on Reddit and try to #bootstrap your own little corner for a specific community? Probably not, and attracting people there would be much harder. Reddit is the one-stop-shop - I can go there for woodworking advice, but I can also chat in #local communities, or communities around collecting #stamps, with the same account and within the same interface. Are you really going to post #photos of your fridge that you want to #sell on your blog and hope that in a year someone discovers it through a Google search? Of course not - you will go to #Facebook #Marketplace or #Craigslist and get it sold within a few days.

You, the #user, are going to go where most people are, because you’re optimizing for #solving your #problems, such as finding like-minded individuals or #selling the fridge quickly and getting it out of your garage to make room for a table saw.

Most people are this way - they don’t care who or how maintains or runs a community or network as long as that place solves the problems they set out to solve. When that #goal overlaps with the company’s desire to make money, you end up in somewhat of a goldilocks zone, but that’s typically a short-lived experience with #modern services. More on that shortly."

So I tried to print something last night using a spool of filament I got from a friend. It failed, so I tried again this morning and it failed again. Pulled the spool out of the AMS and realized it was ABS and not PLA. Sigh… #3Dprinting #problems

Per #msnbc
Opinion

Why Kamala #Harris’ #biracial identity upsets Donald #Trump so much -

There is a multitude of #problems with Trump’s comments, from his #presumption that he has the expertise and jurisdiction to #judge someone else’s #identity to his argument that Harris lacks the #racialbonafides to merit the #Blackaudience members’ allegiance. But the former president’s #ramble offers another important conclusion: Trump simply doesn’t understand #race.

Why are there so many people who are selfish and lack understanding?

Why do so many want more and more and more?

Why do many see the problems but don't tackle them?

Why are we heading towards an abyss but instead of slowing down we accelerate?

Just why?
